JOB OBJECTIVES:

Logan-Hocking School District is implementing the U.S. Department of Education's Full Service Community School model (Community School¹) in two elementary schools.  Research shows that community schools allow district and school leaders, parents and caregivers, and community partners to work together to support student learning and development. Within community schools, the educational system is strengthened as both school and community-based resources are leveraged to support teaching and instruction, provide student-, classroom-, and school-level interventions, offer positive youth development and health/social services, foster school climate, improve communication channels, and engage families and the community.  Schools become the hubs of the community and places where students, families, and community members can access services and support during the school day and out-of-school time. There is growing evidence documenting the value of community schools.  Research on community schools and other partnership models demonstrates improved academic success, enhanced school climate, improved behavior, and strengthened system-level capacities such as improved linkage and referral processes.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

FSCS Coordinator will plan, integrate, coordinate, and facilitate programs and services in each of the FSCS Pillars: 1) integrated student support, 2) expanded/enriched learning time and opportunities, 3) family and community engagement activities, and 4) collaborative leadership strategies. This effort will include collaboration with the Full Service Community School Team, other district and school staff, community stakeholders, parents/caregivers, and students to design and implement the Ohio Student Assistant Program (SAP) model with an embedded Student Assistance Team (SAT).  FSCS Coordinator will provide backbone support for developing, coordinating, and supporting wraparound services in school and in the community with the intent of increasing the academic achievement of all students.
